We are pleased to invite you to the presentation of the BioRegion of Catalonia Life Sciences and Healthcare Outlook 2021, promoted by Biocat, together with CataloniaBio & HealthTech and ACCIÓ in collaboration with AMGEN. The event will take place on January 26 and will be delivered in a hybrid format*: an in-person conference experience at Auditori AXA, Barcelona (we are monitoring the latest updates and following the protocols regarding in-person events) and it will also be live-streamed.
The BioRegion Report is the benchmark study that analyzes the life sciences and healthcare sector in Catalonia. Published regularly since 2009, it is presented at an event that gathers C-level executives, KOLs and experts of the industry.
This year, in addition to the presentation of the sector results, we’ll also have two panel discussions to share experiences from benchmark countries in regulatory issues and speak about the BioRegion’s commitment to becoming a hub for advanced therapies and precision medicine.
